Broken Game

Wyse_Tech · Feb 7, 2007, 12:56 AM

Hey All: I'm using an ATI 9600 AIW and have never had a problem with it other than the
right combination of CCC and MMC to work properly and other picky things.
All of my games have played flawlessly until my Motherboard went bad.
I have a P-4 3.00 Hyperthreading and 2 gigs of memory. The motherboard was
a Gigabyte Ga-81848-G. I installed an Asus P4S800D-X and all of my games work
accept my EA Sports, Nascar Thunder 2004 game. It freezes my computer solid
when i click on ANYTHING at all once the game opens.
I have tried several Drivers and CCCs including the latest with no luck.
Has anyone had the same problem and has anyone found a cure?

Thanks......... ~ wyse ~

Hey All: I guess everyone else was stumped by my question. I found out why i had the
problem and has convinced me to never buy an ATI component again.
I installed a N-vidia G Force 4000 card after uninstalling everything ATI related
and all of my games perform flawlessly. I am now using my All-In-Wonder for a
paper weight.
I'll buy a TV tuner card for the TV.

I would have thought the MX4000 (I believe that's what it is?) would perform much poorer than the 9600 AiW.

You may try turning fast writes off, I noticed that they made my Half Life 2 engine based games much more robust and playable, though my friend with an nVidia card has an almost identical system and has no problem with them on or off
